Paul Jerkatis: I misunderstood, I guess. When you said "prototype", I thought you meant a prototype CoCo ONE with hand-wiring, which would be a real collector's item. What you describe is, I believe not a prototype at all, but a "CoCo 2 in a kit" model released in limited numbers by Tandy for educational purposes, which I had heard of before. Allan says, "I wonder how many diehard CoCo people at that time who were using 1's would have loved to have gotten one of the "pre-2s". Why? Apart from the later models having a lowercase-capable VDG (not applicable in this case), what could you do with a CoCo 2 that you couldn't do with a CoCo 1? It's not like the difference between a CoCo 2 and a CoCo 3! Art
